Notes
- Save yourself some time and make this the ultimate dump meal by skipping the browning stage and add everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
- Add some extra vegetables by stirring in some spinach just before serving, or cooking some chunks of butternut squash when the beef goes in the slow cooker.
- This is easy to freeze in portions, just make sure it has fully cooled before freezing.
- If you don't want this spicy and you want it more kid friendly, then leave out the chilli and let the herbs and spices shine through. Or, you could add some extra yogurt.
- Or, if you want an even spicier curry - try adding some curry powder.
- If your sauce is a bit too watery, then you can thicken it with some cornflour. Mix 2 tablespoon with a little water to make a 'slurry' and then stir in to the sauce.
- Serve with our Turmeric Rice for an added health boost.
